Kawachi Lifts Athletics to 8-6 Win
The 8-6 Oakland win over Kansas City was due largely to Muneo Kawachi. The Athletics center fielder was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Neal Chauveau got credit for the win, improving to 3-5. He allowed 4 runs on 4 hits in 5 innings. Mike Torres converted his 1st save in 1 tries.

With Oakland leading 4-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Kawachi hit a changeup from Oscar Banda for a 3-run home run. It was his 20th home run of the season and put the Athletics ahead, 7-1.

Kawachi called the triumph "a good team win."

The Athletics raised their record to 55-84.
